Problem Identification
South Florida, in which the Keys are located, is a mecca for illicit drug use and has a much higher
than national drug abuse prevalence. South Florida is a designated high- density drug trafficking
area and a leading cocaine importation center. The National Household Survey on Drug Use and
Health reported that in FY 2008 -2009 there were an estimated 1,253,917 adults in the state with
substance abuse problems. Nearly 13% of them live below the poverty level. The primary drugs
abused were alcohol (35 %), cocaine /crack (20 %), marijuana (23 %), and opiates (14.5 %). Of
those adults needing treatment in the state, only 129,698 (10 %) received services. In FY 2010-
2011, 13,055 adults (DCF Quick Facts) received services by substance abuse treatment providers
in DCF Circuits 11 and 16 (Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties). DCF identified substance - abusing
adults in the criminal justice system as a priority population in their Strategic Plan.
Within the Keys, data validates that substance abuse among the general population, and
particularly among those arrested, is high. Local data reflects and /or exceeds national and state
statistics. Records from HELPLINE, a 24 -hour crisis intervention, information and referral service
in Monroe County indicate 674 substance abuse related calls just in the last year. In 2011, there
were 8,022 arrests in Monroe County, Florida; 7,730 of those arrests were adults (96 %). The
"index for total crimes" increased by 7.7% in the County since 2006. During the same period,
nonviolent crime increased by 9.6 %. From 2008 to 2009, there was a 5.6% increase in violent
crime, with a 40.6% increase in domestic violence offenses. Based on annual reports from the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement for 2010 and 2011, several crimes showed a substantial
increase in the County compared to State rates (See Table 1).

During 2010, the average daily census in the Monroe County Jails was 486 inmates (410 in Key
West, 40 in Marathon, and 36 in Plantation Key). The incarceration rate in Monroe County in
2010 was 6.3/1,000 residents, more than twice the State rate (3.1). The Monroe County
Detention center reported that approximately 80% of incarcerated individuals have substance
abuse problems.
The key issue that defines the problem and need in our community has been prevalent for some
time. There are not enough substance abuse treatment services in Monroe

County to address neither the need nor the demand of those who return to our Criminal Justice
System time, after time, after time. Often these repeat offenders are not appropriate for the out
patient services available in the community either due to the nature of the crimes they have
committed, the long- standing nature of their substance use disorder, the likelihood that they may
also have a co- occurring mental health disorder, or a combination of any of these three issues. In
cases such as those aforementioned, structured treatment in a controlled environment provides
the best opportunity for intervention to be effective and re -entry successful. Currently, there are
no local, licensed substance abuse residential treatment programs in Monroe County.
Many of the offenders with substance use disorders are also parents, thus parental substance use
and the criminal conduct also affects children and overburdens our already taxed child welfare
system. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reports that over 8.7 million
children under the age of 18 (12.2 %) lived with at least one parent who was dependent on or
abused alcohol or an illicit drug during the past year. Male and female offenders often experience
mental illness and substance abuse disorders, have child- rearing, parenting and custodial
difficulties, health problems, histories of violence, sexual abuse and corresponding trauma
(Veysey, 1998). From a local perspective, Healthy Start indicated that 75% of the children in
foster care in Monroe County have exposure to substance abuse in the family.
Currently, offenders must leave the community and go to Miami -Dade or Broward County to
access residential treatment to address the needs associated with a serious substance use
disorder. The Jail In -House Program (JIP) at the County Detention Center is the only substance
abuse treatment program in the Keys that provides comprehensive treatment services in a
controlled environment. (This program has traditionally been funded through the FDLE
Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) grant.)
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The Monroe County Sheriffs Office has operated the JIP program at the County's Detention
Center.
The JIP program has received RSAT grant funding for at least the past 9 years. This year's
funding through Byrne /JAG funding will allow the program to continue unchanged. As it always
has, the program will serve approximately 100 men, with substance abuse issues, in the County
Detention Center with substance abuse treatement services.
Monroe County will execute a contract to implement the Jail Incarceration Program (JIP) in the
Monroe County Detention Center to provide substance abuse treatment services to the inmates
housed there.
Most of the participants in the program are court ordered by the Drug Court, Circuit Court and
County Court Judges in Monroe County. The rest are volunteers who meet criteria for
drug /alcohol treatment and will be in the county jail a minimum of 182 days.
The program has established a positive reputation county wide, working closely with judges,
prosecutors and defense attorneys throughout the county. DCF audits for the past three years
reported that this program meets or exceeds Best Practice standards with 100% compliance.

wrap ups.

Section Questions:
Question: If salaries and benefits are included in the budget as actual costs for staff in the

increase from the previous Byrne program?
Answer: NA
Question: If benefits are to be included, are they reflected in the budget narrative?
Answer: NA
Question: Indicate the Operating Capital Outlay threshold established by the subgrantee or
implementing agency, if it is the sheriffs office.
Answer: $1000
Question: If indirect cost is included in the budget, indicate the basis for the plan (e.g. percent of
salaries and benefits), and provide documentation of the appropriate approval of this
plan.
Answer: NA
Question: If the budget includes services based on unit costs, provide a definition and cost for
each service as part of the budget narrative for contractual services. Include the basis
for the unit costs and how recently the basis was established or updated.
Answer: The unit of service is an hour of service. The basis for the unit cost is staff salaries
assigned to the program plus a small amount for supplies.
A total of 3,827 hours of service will be provided. There is a small increase in the unit
cost over last year's unit cost (of $16.87) due to a minor change in the staffing
structure (the addition of hours of a Program Director), which will enhance program
quality.
